More often than not, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through specs. The photograph underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-25 and ST6500.

All in all, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung ST6500 to give extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
